The Gold Coast Motorail was an Australian passenger train operated by the Public Transport Commission from March 1973 until February 1990.[1]
It operated from Sydney via the North Coast line to Murwillumbah. It departed Central railway station in Sydney. It was formed of air-conditioned HUB/RUB sitting carriages along with stainless steel sleepers as well as having a motorail facility.[2] Its headcode was NL3/NL4.
In May 1987, it was renamed the Pacific Coast Motorail.[3] In February 1990 it was replaced by an unnamed XPT service.[4]
